Financial intimacy is a crucial aspect of a thriving marriage, yet it remains an often overlooked dimension of relationship health. In this episode of Marriage IQ, we build upon last week’s episode about finances to explore the profound impact of financial communication on marital satisfaction and stability.
We delve into the concept of financial intimacy, which extends beyond mere budgeting to encompass a deep, open, and trusting connection between partners regarding their financial lives. This includes creating a shared vision for the future, discussing values and goals related to money, complete honesty and integrity about finances, and ensuring both partners feel heard and respected in financial matters.
We also examine how financial intimacy aligns with our four cornerstones of a thriving marriage: identity, intentionality, insight, and intimacy. Learn how to apply these principles to your financial relationship and create a stronger, more unified approach to money management.
